In thinking about my favorite summer things, I remembered the fun as a kid of squeezing lemons and mixing them with sugar and water and pouring it all over ice. It took a lot of lemons to make that crisp, refreshing drink, but it was worth it.

Something fun that the North Independence Branch of Mid-Continent Public Library is offering this summer is our Literature and Lemonade program. Visit the library on June 29th at 11:00 a.m., and you'll be treated to lemonade! (Ah...) Also and even better, the Independence Fire Department will be here as our special guests. They will read some stories and show us their fire truck!

After that, the next Literature and Lemonade program will be Having a Ball with Bubbles. Come explore the fun of bubbles on July 27th at 11 a.m.
